Do you guys really think Oscar would put Canelo in the ring with King Martinez?

Ok, he was forced to put him in the ring with Trout, the fans would accept nothing less, and they still looked for ways out. But with that being said..Congrats to Canelo on the victory. Now...Canelo Vs King Martinez???? Don't you guys know that Martinez Ko's him with 3-6 round with sharp counters and power punches. Can you imagine Canelo's neck snapping back with each punch? Mayweather is a wayyyyy safer fight, Canelo actually has a chance at beating Mayweather, he however has non at beating Martinez. Oscar ain't letting Canelo go anywhere near that. When the day comes that canelo wins a belt at 160, then and only then will you have a point. Let's focus on the 154 champs first. They include canelo and Floyd. Quit being an over protective hen.

It's unrealistic and down right evil to want Canelo to face Martinez. The fact is that far greater and more accomplished fighters won't fight Martinez, how can we expect a future cashcow to face him?? The kid just got his feet wet.

No. He's 22 and his frame fits perfectly into the junior middleweight division. No sense in jumping up weight classes, and there'd be no way he'd be ready for Sergio at this stage.

Senseless question considering he just beat Trout. Assuming that Canelo was obligated to fight Trout, well, you saw the fight. It's not like Trout murdered him first before giving up his belt. Didn't Alvarez already issue a challenge to Martinez and Segio threw a roadblock? I'm no fan of both, but people need to use their brains sometimes. It really doesn't matter whether you see it as a mismatch or not, which is subjective. The important thing is to see these fights happen. Personally, Sergio has the advantage at 160, but I think the fight is even at 154.

No. End thread.

I would like to see this fight in the future Lou Dibella already said he would work with GBP and Showtime. If the fight is at 154 why not? I think Canelo will do a lot better then Chavez Jr did agains't Martinez and Canelo is not that easy to hit. Canelo is only 22 but the guy wants to fight the best fighters out there. Thats way I am a fan of Canelo's I also like Cotto for the same reason.

Canelo isnt a hype job anymore beat the best at 154. But to answer...he would. If either Sergio looks bad on Sat in a win or if Canelo demands it. Maybe at a catchweight..if Sergio wins he could try to work with Floyd and get the fight down to 154. Same for Canelo. That fight would be HUGE if Floyd fought the winner and I dont think Floyd would be heavily favored for once. They might be a tad big for Floyd but that would be a huge temptation. Floyd could also move the winner of the 140 tourny up but unless Kahn wins it, it wont be as lucrative as a 154 fight...

Nope. Trout was a decent fighter with limited power who had a hard night with Cotto, Sergio is a whole different animal. He's faster, more skilled, hits harder...yeah, wouldn't happen.

Yes. Yes. Oscar is a fighter who never ducked anyone. That's why Golden Boy is taking over the sport, little by little. Oscar puts his fighters in with real competition because that's what he use to do. He will not protect Canelo or any other GB fighter because it's not in his nature. So although he's a business man, he was a fighter first and you see that with his stable of fighters.

Yes Cotto, Lara, Angulo, Andrade No Martinez , Floyd, Golovkin, Chavez Jr

Agree. I concur. Not only would Ward beat Martinez, he would beat him up, BAD. He's too big and too tough. Martinez would get mauled like never before. Ward is tough as nails and knows how to take an opponents best weapon away while breaking them down the whole time. But, it's a fight that Martinez should welcome if he fights for legacy. He's always challenging smaller fighters but I never heard him say Wards name one time. Have you?

Yes he is. Martinez is naturally bigger than Canelo. Yes he is. He is also stronger than Canelo BUT at 154lb, Canelo has the advantage. At 160lb, Martinez would most likely win but due to recent injuries and age, I would lean toward Canelo. The kid is quick but very strong physically. Nobody walks through him no matter their experience level. He is a problem in the sport from now on. You agree?

i dont see why not, martinez isnt invincible and canelo isnt a bad fighter. i wouldnt be surprised if canelo beat martinez.

could see Alvarez beating Martinez before he beats Floyd Martinez is closing on on 40, he's vulnerable would favor Martinez for sure, he's better conditioned than Alvarez but money aside, Alvarez does better vs Martinez than Floyd

If it wasn't for the network wars, I think they'd be willing to do it. He's big enough reward it to be worth it. They'd go for Mayweather or Cotto first of course. And this isn't about putting down Canelo. All I'm saying is the saying "a good big man, beats a good little man" Martinez is the better big man, better boxer, better footwork, faster, smarter. Just not a good style for Canelo, I don't wanna see you guys de-rail the Canelo train. There is not 1 attribute or such that Canelo has over Martinez, I would fight Mayweather, Cotto and everyone else before that fight. Martinez isn't neccessarly the bigger man though. http://i.imgur.com/Wrx05P0.jpg

The Red Head is still to GREEN..... Ok, he was forced to put him in the ring with Trout, the fans would accept nothing less, and they still looked for ways out. But with that being said..Congrats to Canelo on the victory. Now...Canelo Vs King Martinez???? Don't you guys know that Martinez Ko's him with 3-6 round with sharp counters and power punches. Can you imagine Canelo's neck snapping back with each punch? Mayweather is a wayyyyy safer fight, Canelo actually has a chance at beating Mayweather, he however has non at beating Martinez. Oscar ain't letting Canelo go anywhere near that. Sergio just beat up Jr. to the point his own personal acountant didn't know it was him asking for the money he got paid for that fight. In no way, shape or form will the Golden Chicken chance having The Red Head exposed anymore before he can try to talk him into getting the type of butt whooping from Floyd that Nonito got from Rigo. The money is all these promoters want & GB is just like , King Promotions and Top Rank. They could care less about their guy as long as he can make them money......

And this isn't about putting down Canelo. All I'm saying is the saying "a good big man, beats a good little man" Martinez is the better big man, better boxer, better footwork, faster, smarter. Just not a good style for Canelo, I don't wanna see you guys de-rail the Canelo train. There is not 1 attribute or such that Canelo has over Martinez, I would fight Mayweather, Cotto and everyone else before that fight. lol Canelo comes in weighing more Than Sergio by a few pounds. But Maravilla Still beats his ass

And this isn't about putting down Canelo. All I'm saying is the saying "a good big man, beats a good little man" Martinez is the better big man, better boxer, better footwork, faster, smarter.

This is starting to be a real obsession with folks on here. He beat trout now he has to fight the 160 king prove something to people here ,amazing. Not only is Sergio on hbo and at 160 there's no demand for the fight except people on here with agendas trying to put canelo in with anyone why stop at Sergio put him in with Ward, chad Dawson, or wladimir klitschko. Get over it and just enjoy his career geez:smashfrea
